Re: Christmas Park Challenge 2017
Pretty much what I was gonna say! So unless anyone wants to run from Elm Park to Romford we should be all good to go for either date...xcooler123 wrote: ↑12 Sep 2017, 15:49Saturday 9th December and Saturday 16th December both don't have any LU closures on them, only Chadwell Heath - Shenfield on TfL Rail.Going Underground wrote: Can anyone let me know if there are any Saturday's in December when it would be possible to have the annual extravaganza so we can set a date?

As for starting station - we've done Canons, Belsize, Woodside, Tufnell, Royal, Moor, Elm, Wimbledon and Newbury. Any requests?
If none, I propose Finsbury.
All London buses: 23 hours 25 minutes (with Adham, David, Josh and Tangy)
Holds some alternative challenge records. Not sure which ones.

Re: Christmas Park Challenge 2017
9th December is a no go for me so is 16th Dec OK for everyone?
Looking at potential starting stations avoiding Central London we have; Chiswick, Ravenscourt, Holland, Stonebridge, Queens, Kilburn, Westbourne, Finsbury, Upton.... As far as I can work out unless any others I have missed??

As for parkrun, the obvious answer to this question would be Wormwood Scrubs or South Oxhey - but I'll let the actual experts decide of course...
Now to pick which of the 12 trains in my direction through the station I want to take!

Slightly annoying having to go through two other Park stations to get to the start! That said, I have an idea for a route forming....
